Did you know that 90 percent of people who receive services from behavioral health organizations have experienced trauma? People with mental illnesses and addictions whose trauma goes unaddressed have greater mental health problems and increased risk of heart disease, suicide, and substance abuse.
The National Council for Behavioral Health is currently accepting applications for the 2016-2017 Trauma-Informed Learning Community. This is an exciting opportunity for mental health and substance use organizations committed to implementing, sustaining and spreading Trauma-Informed Care throughout their organization to join with other providers to promote a fundamental organizational change in the culture of behavioral healthcare. Through this learning community participating organizations will enhance their ability to provide safe and secure physical and social environments and services that are easily accessible, person-centered, competently delivered, culturally respectful and consistent with recovery oriented principles of collaboration, shared decision-making and self-direction.
